the virtual book swap (a 'novel' concept)

Bek and I are diving into books this summer. Not many books we both read, but that's what makes life and conversation interesting: "Hey, can you believe this?" "Quiet, I'm reading!" Anyway, we wanted to share our summer finds so far and put the question to you: what are you reading just now that you'd recommend to a fellow reader?

Confections of a Closet Master Baker, Gesine Bullock-Prado

  1. Thought Neil White's In the Sanctuary of Outcasts was intriguing & found The Rivers North of the Future a good introduction to the thought of Ivan Illich.
